Chapter 42: Dragged up from the nest

"You have your own measure for your father, you just do yourself!"

After saying a word, Qiao Hongyuan withdrew his gaze from Qiao Nianxi's face, flicked his sleeves and left, and his steps were a little heavier than when the wind and fire came just now.

Walking back, Qiao Hongyuan muttered in his heart, this trip was supposed to give her a lecture, but why was she led away in the end?

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated Qiao Hongyuan felt in her heart, but Qiao Nianxi's words were also true, since she came back, the old and young in the family looked at her unpleasantly, and made her stumble, if this continues, when Zhang Yuan goes to the imperial capital to meet Qiao Nianxi, I am afraid that he will not let go of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion.

"Looks like she should be nicer!"

Qiao Hongyuan muttered to himself and walked away from Qingfeng Courtyard.

Mother Chun and Bai Ke and Bai Li were in the side courtyard, although they couldn't hear what Qiao Nianxi and Qiao Hongyuan said, but seeing Qiao Hongyuan's angry appearance, he also had some thoughts in his heart, the three exchanged glances, Bai Li turned around and walked out of the back door.

Qiao Nianxi stretched out her hand and twisted a piece of cloud cake, and Yu Guang saw Bai Li's figure disappear from the corner of the back door, and the corners of her lips hooked, she had long known that these three people were sent by the Lin family to spy on her, but since she could let these three people see it, she was not afraid to report, it seemed that it should be lively again in the next few days.

Qiao Nianxi is comfortable here, but the atmosphere of Qiao Chuxi's warm autumn courtyard is different.

"Why! Her broom star is clearly to seduce King Ling! I really can't hide that smell in the nunnery!"

Qiao Chuxi's face was full of jealousy, and he was about to reach out and brush off the things on the table between words, but after thinking about it, he had to add it himself if he broke it, and the hand he stretched out still retracted.

"Ouch, my fifth miss!"

Aunt Zhao sat on the side and listened to Qiao Chuxi say this, stood up tremblingly, and grabbed her: "From the time the third lady entered the door to the present, how many stumbling blocks have the lady made for her, but the result is not that she herself caused a commotion? In my opinion, these three young ladies also have means, you better restrain yourself, don't let the old lady also annoy you." ”

In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, Aunt Zhao was the lowest-born merchant girl, however, her maiden family was not as prominent as Aunt Zhang's family at that time, and to put it bluntly, it was just a small business, except for being young and beautiful, there was no advantage at all.

Without the backing of her mother's family and the support of the Marquis of Zhenguo, Qiao Chuxi can now get some grace in front of the old lady, which is already an inexhaustible blessing for Aunt Zhao.

However, Qiao Chuxi is a competitive character, and the old lady is partial to her, and her eyes have already grown to the top of her head, and no one pays attention to her.

Hearing Aunt Zhao's uncompetitive words, Qiao Chuxi immediately widened her eyes: "Auntie, what are you talking about! I am the young lady who grew up in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, what kind of thing is Qiao Nianxi!"

Aunt Zhao's face froze, and she hurriedly reached out to cover Qiao Chuxi's mouth: "Don't shout anymore, if you let your father know, maybe how to punish you!"

It's okay not to mention Qiao Hongyuan, but when he mentions him, Qiao Chuxi's anger is even more uncomfortable, he reached out and pulled Aunt Zhao's hand, and split his head with a sentence: "Didn't your aunt teach you the method last time, why can't you still trap your father?" Grandmother has promised to raise you to a concubine when you give birth to a son, but you are fighting for some anger!"

Aunt Zhao was so stunned by her biological daughter that she couldn't say a word, the corners of her lips trembled, and her eyes turned red: "I can't help it, your father has been wet with rain and dew in all courtyards in the past two years, but not only did I not move, and there was no movement in other yards!"

Qiao Chuxi was stimulated by Aunt Zhao's words, and seemed to think of something, and her eyes widened instantly: "You didn't move before, but you disappeared for no reason, isn't there someone making trouble here?" No, I have to tell my grandmother to go!"

The more he said it, the more Qiao Chuxi felt that there was something boring in it, and in an instant, the small universe of the battle began to heat up again.

Aunt Zhao's heart twitched, and she didn't have time to stretch out her hand and grabbed Qiao Chuxi: "This is just our conjecture, you don't know who did it, and there is no evidence, so rashly telling the old lady will only make her bored with you!"

Aunt Zhao didn't suspect the child's matter, but when she checked all the things she ate, wore and used, she carefully checked everything she had come into contact with, but she didn't find anything.

"You're going to live like this!"

Qiao Chuxi saw Aunt Zhao thinking about it like this, looking like she hated iron but not steel, but thinking about it, what he said was not unreasonable, and the anger in her heart was a little gone.

Aunt Zhao was robbed white, and her face was not very good-looking, but Qiao Chuxi was the meat that fell from her body after all, so she still persuaded patiently: "I will investigate this matter, you don't have to interfere, what you have to do now is to please the old lady, don't provoke the third lady, a hedgehog." ”

"Alright, alright, I got it!"

Qiao Chuxi responded impatiently, and did not count Aunt Zhao again, but she also understood in her heart that only Aunt Zhao in this family was really good to herself.

While the two were talking, Bai Cong beside Aunt Zhao hurriedly broke in: "Auntie, the master is going to the Peach Blossom Courtyard!"

"Really?"

Qiao Chuxi and Aunt Zhao instantly brought out a little surprise when they heard this, and when they saw Bai Cong nodding, a smile bloomed on their faces.

"Hurry up and go back and pack up!"

Qiao Chuxi said as she stretched out her hand to push Aunt Zhao out, her face full of excitement.

Aunt Zhao didn't say much, turned around and followed Bai Cong out, her steps were hurried, for fear that Qiao Hong would leave without anyone going away.

Qiao Hongyuan suffered a sulk from Qiao Nianxi, so he wanted to vent his anger, and after finishing the things in his hand, he thought about it for a moment and walked directly towards Aunt Zhao's Peach Blossom Courtyard.

Speaking of which, Qiao Hongyuan's backyard is not very lively, since the death of Qiao Nianxi's biological mother Aunt Zhang, in addition to the Lin family, the eldest lady in charge, there are only two concubines, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li.

Aunt Li is the eldest daughter of Zhou Sima in the six grades, although her official position is not high, she can be regarded as a scholarly family, with a solemn atmosphere, she usually likes to be quiet, especially when she gave birth to Qiao Churan, she followed the old lady at home all the year round to worship the Buddha, and she didn't like to come in the crowd.

In contrast, Qiao Hongyuan at this time, he naturally chose Aunt Zhao, who was gentle and lovely, and obedient in front of him.

"Sir!"

As soon as Qiao Hongyuan entered the gate of the Peach Blossom Courtyard, Aunt Zhao's bone-chilling voice came into his ears.

Just now, Aunt Zhao asked Bai Cong to give her a good meal as soon as possible, and even changed into a light veil, under the night breeze, ethereal and fairy, the moonlight enveloped her body, and the looming skin was even more conjectural.

"Leprechaun!"

Qiao Hongyuan took a step forward, took Aunt Zhao into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her cherry mouthful.

"I haven't seen my master come over for a few days, but people are thinking about it!"

Aunt Zhao raised her arm and hugged Qiao Hongyuan's neck, with a little blush on her delicate little face.

Qiao Hongyuan hooked the corners of his lips and narrowed his eyes, and reached out to pick it on Aunt Zhao's chin: "Do you miss me, or do you want to ......?"

"Ouch, my lord is so bad!"

Aunt Zhao was shy, and the whole person threw herself into Qiao Hongyuan's arms, and the bones in her body were powerless.

The woman's conquest made Qiao Hongyuan feel greatly satisfied, laughed, and reached out to pick up Aunt Zhao and walk to the back room.

Seeing the two masters like this, Bai Cong chuckled lightly and hid.

The candles in the room flickered two approaching figures, and the breeze blew in through the cracks in the window, and there was a hazy intoxicating smell, and after a while, a slight sound came from inside, and even the cicadas stopped chirping shyly.

originally thought that this night would pass so comfortably, but when the two of them inside were in high spirits, there was a noise outside.

"What's going on!"

Qiao Hongyuan raised his head from the gentle township, twisted his brows and yelled outside.

"Hou, Master Hou......"

Bai Cong's voice trembled a little, and before he could finish a sentence, he was interrupted.

"Master Hou, Madam has something important to discuss with you, go and take a look!"

It was Caile beside the Lin family who spoke.

Over the years, the Lin family has controlled the up and down of the Qiao family, plus the Lin family, the maiden family of the Yongchang Hou Mansion, Qiao Hongyuan is still a little empty in the face of such a wife, Cai Huan Caile is the Lin family's dowry maid, and his natural identity is a level higher, and with the support of the Lin family, he is even more hard-hearted.

After Cai Le finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and pushed Bai Cong aside, seeing that if Qiao Hong didn't come out, she would really push the door in.

However, at the moment when Cai Le stretched out his hand, the door slammed open, and Qiao Hongyuan put on a piece of clothing and walked in from inside with his eyes wide.

"Hou, Hou!"

Cai Le was startled, and took two steps back before standing still: "Madame said that there is something important to discuss with you, please be sure to go over!"

Qiao Hongyuan looked at Cai Le with a nervous face, and his already blue face became even more gloomy, but he was so anxious to see Cai Le in the middle of the night, and he was really worried about something, so after thinking about it again, he still nodded.

"You go back first, I'll go over later. ”

Throwing a sentence to Caile, Qiao Hongyuan reached out and pulled the clothes draped over his shoulders up, turned around and entered the back room.

Although Aunt Zhao has always been considerate, she can't hurt the beauty's heart, right?

When I arrived at Yumantang, I hadn't entered the gate far away, and there was already a maid waiting outside with a lamp outside, and when I saw Qiao Hongyuan coming, I hurriedly greeted him, and someone else went in to report.

Qiao Hongyuan followed and walked in, entered the house, and saw Lin and Cai Huan Cai in the hall to greet him, the depression just now seemed to be slightly better, and he raised his feet and went in and was about to speak, but he saw that Lin was obviously crying with red eyes, and his face was stunned.

"What's going on?"

The Lin family was originally a beauty, but now she has lost her usual toughness and is a little more pitiful, coupled with the tearful eyes of the pear blossoms with rain, which instantly aroused the pity of the man in Qiao Hongyuan's bones.

While speaking, Qiao Hongyuan reached out to help Lin's family, and touched her face with the other hand to wipe her tears.

Cai Huanle glanced at each other, the corners of his lips hooked, and quietly retreated.
